Did wave 4 get a release date? I feel like I missed something when I went to sleep.

Did wave 4 get a release date? I feel like I missed something when I went to sleep.

April 25th I think.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Can I be added into the Hangout/group chat? I'm just trying to find a Sonic, Mega Man and an MK.

 

[skaflone721]

Just created a LINE account, username blue.namagem. This app seems like a decent one, gotta look into it more. Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated. We'll look into all this more later. Toki, I'm guessing Hangouts didn't work for 100 users? That sucks, but hopefully this LINE ends up working well.

Now, I'm going back to sleep...So tired.

I added you and kitchenmotors

Skaflonetek is mine. Everyone is free to add me. Also, someone please alert me if something goes up. About to head into work and can't really be on my phone at all.

Lol, thanks.

Went by the Nintendo World store last night to pick up my n3DS XL and I managed to snag their last Ike. Apparently a few people had forfeited their pre-orders due to not picking them up in time. The guy in front of me in line got the second to last one and I got the last one.

 

[Fox Mulder]

The fact that Nintendo acknowledged that they didn't handle the earlier waves properly tells me they are going to try to be prepared for wave 4.

Nintendo is always apologizing for something that happens again anyways.

 

[Sallokin]

Tomorrow is the big day for Shulk, Sonic and Megaman in Japan. Gotta hit up my local shop early to make sure I can snag them. The first part of wave 3 sold out pretty quickly.

 

[Nocturn]

so the gamestop website tells me that all shops nearby but one are out of stock on shulks. The one that does have him is only 7 minutes away..... they open in 26 minutes.... I wonder if I should just go...

 

[Spades]

Got my Sonic from ShopTo today:

He's so awesome - he's instantly up there with Bowser in terms of favourite design to me.

Still waiting on King Dedede and Mega Man, and I'm going to have to go hunting on Friday for Meta Knight and Shulk. Anyone in the UK got any tips on where is best to try?

My local shop says it has low stock, but basically everything else around me is out of stock. I'm going down to check in 20 minutes.

 

[Cormano]

Cant seem to get a hold of a Sonic .

I guess I should get read and go, Hopefully we come back feeling it.

 

[esmith08734]

I might call my store. I don't want to go all the way there to get rejected.

 

[akileese]

When did Toad preorders start selling out? I could of swore he was available on gamestop.com like two days.

Are the stores taking preorders for the Super Mario Bros. amiibos or no?

 

[ChrisD]

Don't count on it. They just made the MP10 Gold Mario Wal-Mart exclusive, so...

What
Silver Mario? Where's he stuck at? I just want Silver.

 

[Ludist210]

What
Silver Mario? Where's he stuck at? I just want Silver.

I don't think that's been revealed yet. Possibly Amazon if they're going there...or a Club Nintendo reward.

 

[Josh7289]

If I had to bet, I'd say Amazon. Amazon is the only retailer on this page that hasn't received an exclusive so far: http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/buynow/

 

[kierwynn]

So, I just woke up and I have no idea what is going on, but I will say there is no way google hangouts has a limit of 10 as we have 11 in the notification group. Googling, it looks like 10-15 is the limit for video chat, but a hangout can have 100.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Just uploaded my video review of Rosalina & Luma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss0PHuM6hOs
Hope you guys enjoy that, also look what just arrived in the post!

 

[CH4OS]

Just created a LINE account, username blue.namagem.

Added you. If anyone wants to add me, kitchenmotors is my id.

Skaflonetek is mine. Everyone is free to add me.

Alright guys I have you all added on LINE. I made a group called amiibo watch 24/7 and even added a cool picture :]

So far we have:
CH4OS
blue.namagem
kitchenmotors
Skaflonetek

I think this will work great as you can get phone notifications in this app and you don't have to use your phone number if you don't want to.

Please PM me if you'd like to be added with your LINE account name. I'm going to work now but will try to keep tabs on this. Anyone who is already a member feel free to invite other amiibros to the watch.

 

[Ignition365]

Very tired when I wrote that. I obviously meant that it gives me hope that they will do better.

Please understand.

He looks nice, I've just never liked the new sonic. I grew up with pot belly sonic.

Really though, a guy that runs that much must have shit metabolism if he still has that potbelly.

Is there anyway we can look into and see if what we already started to do will work first? It says we should be able to do 100 so it's either wrong and we need to change or we messed something up. I just think it's super confusing with everyone trying to start all these different things and needing to make all these accounts for new things and idk I have no idea how this app works- is it chat friendly and alert friendly?

 

[B-Ri]

I see shulks in stock on gamestops web site but it wont let me buy! blargggg

If you guys want to still look into Google Hangout and have LINE as a backup that's cool. Otherwise the LINE group is up and running. It's a very simple app (works like any texting app). You can get notifications when the app is closed and you don't need to add a phone number if you don't want to.

Just keep me posted, and I'll switch to whatever we decide to do. Either way, the more people we have working together the better.

 

[Nocturn]

Nope. Went to GameStop and their in stock status for shulk was a lieeeee. I'm kinda happy though. There was some dude openly saying he was gonna buy them all and sell them. He even had a shulk he sold online but didn't have a shulk to ship so he was banking on GameStop having it in stock. Bastard got what he deserved.

Yeah, it's just super confusing, but I agree. I'm working on making a line app now- it's worth trying everything in the end.

Ha, me too man. But being a SEGA kid in the early 90's, I'll always have a soft spot for the guy - old or new!

 

[Danthrax]

Probably GameStop. Preorder now or don't get him at all!

That's what I'm expecting, my wife actually went for me so I didn't have to step out of work.

 

[Spades]

Don't count on it. They just made the MP10 Gold Mario Wal-Mart exclusive, so...

Did I miss this announcement? Are there any plans to bring them to Europe also, or are they going to be US-only?

 

[izakq]

I'm wondering if I should wait a little longer for my order before I send an email, since this is the first time I've ordered something from amazon.de.

I've placed an order for a Villager on January 16. The latest expected delivery date they had listed was for February 13 and I have yet to receive it. So again, considering that I'm importing something from amazon.de, should I wait a little longer before complaining?

 

[superNESjoe]

My Gamestop was accurate, they have one Shulk left in stock but it's for a pre-order. They are going to call the person one more time today, if they don't come pick it up then I can have it.

 

[commish]

Here is my weekly "Is Pit in stock anywhere? Ever?" post. I got Ike and Shulk in yesterday, so Pit is the only one I'm looking for.

 

[B-Ri]

Shout out to Commish who sold me his spare Lucario at cost and it was in beautiful condition!

[pete_clarf]

Oh man! Best Buy just charged my account for the Meta Knight I pre-ordered on December 10th! Order has went from "Payment Validated" to "Preparing Order".

Come to me my sweet prince

That is typically the deal when it comes to things like that. The item has to be processed through the system, so it'll end up on the site like it's in stock.

 

[friskykillface]

Nah, I think he's done for good , your best bet is to trade for him , I'm trading a Lucario for a pit since I'd rather do it now than later

The one I pre ordered on Monday I think is preparing too :') I got lucky when best buy opened up orders very briefly

Well if the preorder cancels out I hope you get it. Good luck!

I was thinking we get both. So on one we can chat and on another keep it just for alerts. That way I can have two custom tones so I'm not freaking out over every message, lol

Haha yeah, that would be A LOT of notifications.
Just created a amiibo chat room and invited everyone.

I wonder when we'll get them. I'm not really expecting it on Friday (unless it ships today, but even then...). As long as I know he's on the way, I'll be happy.

 

[commish]

Bah. I guess I have no choice. Anyone have a Pit for trade?

Edit: My Meta Knights shipped 10 seconds ago. Woohoo.

They seem to be Preparing Order on my page, so that's a good sign.

I really hope this doesn't happen:

Wow that is terrible! I open all mine, so less worried, but for those who keep them in a box, that's unforgivable.

 

[Rootbeer]

I hope the price on meta knight drops now that they are shipping out... most are going for over $30 now... i'd bite if i can find one around $20 or maybe under $25 on amazon/ebay.

 

[CH4OS]

Here comes a new challenger!
Kierwynn has joined the chat!

Here's what we're up to amiibros:
CH4OS (added)
blue.namagem
kitchenmotors (added)
Skaflonetek (added)
Kierwynn (added)

We have a chat room and an amiibo watch room for any amiibos that may pop up on the internet without notice INCLUDING wave 4.

If anyone wants to stay ahead of the game, download the LINE messenger app and PM me your ID and I will add you to both rooms. This will keep us ahead of scalpers too...unless one of you is (in which case we will have a strict screening process) lol

 

[Horohoro]

Hey, I'm headed to work in an hour, so you'll have your lead! Can't be on this 24/7, as greenwolfe would agree:


Sorry to hear abouy your family issues. Seems you were tied up, since it was pretty quiet on your front near the end, but hey, you were still Top 5 even after stepping away.

Hope whatever the issues were resolved themselves.

Alright guys I have you all added on LINE. I made a group called amiibo watch 24/7 and even added a cool picture :]

So far we have:
CH4OS
blue.namagem
kitchenmotors
Skaflonetek

I think this will work great as you can get phone notifications in this app and you don't have to use your phone number if you don't want to.

Please PM me if you'd like to be added with your LINE account name. I'm going to work now but will try to keep tabs on this. Anyone who is already a member feel free to invite other amiibros to the watch.

You already know I wanna be added
